I differ in my opinion than you. You maybe think success is achieved by making one's whole living off the farm. I farm as a sideline to my decent paying full time job. I didn't have the luxury of having the reins of a "turnkey" operation handed to me when I finished college. By no means do I suggest that is the case with you, Married2Allis! When my father was in a position to retire from farming, I recognized there wasn't enough there to support me and my family AND pay a respectable rent to him. I have invested in upgrading the equipment lineup and increased productivity on the farm through various improvements, thus making it a highly productive farm. I am not "in hock" at the bank or with Case or JD Credit. I enjoy my time on the farm, and the work and expansion efforts I do today, are intended for the time I can "cut myself loose" from my current job, farming full time in doing what I had always wanted to do, and maybe stall off official retirement until I turn 70. Until then, I work the decent paying job I have for my primary income. Enjoying life, enjoying what I do and want to do, and living in a financially secure way in my working years and hopefully in my retirement years is how I gage my success. I am grateful I recognized I could not make a living for my family solely from the farm before I jumped in with nothing but a hard struggle.

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip.
